NC4400 : Problem with modded Bios

Hi,I've installed nc4400 modded bios without whitelist (modded bios from this forum, by TTAV134's post #290, "This is no request thread! HP COMPAQ bioses, how to modify the bios?" thread, can't insert link ).I installed an Intel 5100, and i must install the network card computer powered on. When the computer start, i pass the bios, and i stop the grub's timewait. I install the network card, and i continue booting. The network card work properly when the os is booted.When i stop the computer ("halt" on Linux), the computer doesn't stop really, the power led is still green, and he consumes power. On battery, he consumes more like sleeping mode. I can restart the computer without problem, but whern stopping, the problem happens every times.If i install the network card when the computer is off, power supply disconected, batteries removed, when i plug any power sources, the computer start automatically, fan at full speed, black screen blocked and the power led blink green/yellow.It's really weird and annoying. I need WiFi n, because the wall of my house is thick (50" of 100% real stone, very old house). WiFi G doesn't work in every place, or with poor rates.
May i must reinstall Ubuntu? I don't think, but it's a weird problem...Thank you for your help.

Is there not a bios with the whitelist. If so why not use that

I need a bios without whitelist. Intel 5100 is blocked by regular bios. I've found a way to bypass this limitation, but i can't halt/reboot the notebook...

The bios with the white list removed should work.
Are you also saying that you are installing and uninstalling your wlan Intel 5100 with the power on. You are taking big risks in damaging your laptop and your intel wifi card. I hope i am wrong, Hopefully someone else will come along to support me.

I'm sorry, I don't have the know how to help with your bios, but the full size requirement caught my eye. I haven't had the need to purchase one, but I remembered seeing a full to half size adapter some where, a quick google search pulled up this link:

*Sigh* I still can't post links, but I think you get the idea. It's just a small piece of plastic with the correct screw alignment.

I've got the same problem. Intel 5100 wifi card is not allowed in even using the mod stated as "whitelist removed".

Another question: what type of BIOS is the one for the HP NC4400 and how can I extract it ad what tool should I use to make it SLIC2.1? I have been trying all I could find in this forum but am not able to do it. I know there is a mod already ready out here but it would be really cool if I could actually do it myself too.
